Contemporary Heidehof House With Pool in Stuttgart

Posted: 08 Dec 2011 09:57 AM PST

This beautiful residence is located in Stuttgart, Germany and it sits on a 377 square meter plot. It was built in 2008 but it still looks like a contemporary building. The residence was a designed by Alexander Brenner Architects and it was a real challenge.

Even though now it seems like a well-planned design, managing to fit this residence on an almost triangular plot was not easy at all. The shape of the plot required an elongated building that also had to run parallel to the road. The house has a sleek and elegant design. It features a large wood-clad garage wall and it also includes a white cube that rises above the zebra striped near the pool.

The entrance is on the ground floor and is reached through a small courtyard, Taking this area as a reference, the pool is located to the left of the house and it's not visible from the roadside. The living room has a small window strip at floor level that lets the light reflected from the pool illuminate the room in the morning. Also, the pool is a great attraction during the night when it resembles an abstract picture because of all the lights. The property also includes a beautiful garden. Inside, the public areas are located on the ground floor while all the bedrooms, bathrooms and the roof garden are on the upper floor and also offer views of the surrounding trees.{found on archdaily and pics by Zooey Braun}

The elegant Whitman leather collection

Posted: 08 Dec 2011 08:54 AM PST

This is a contemporary furniture collection that features clean lines, slim shapes and chic designs. Even though it's a contemporary collection, it has a certain look that makes it unique and that distinguishes it from the rest of the collections. It's probably this retro-chic allure that isn't usually found in contemporary designs.

The Whitman collection includes a sofa, a chair and an ottoman. They are all crafted with eco-friendly hardwood frames and eco-friendly high-density, high-resiliency cushioning. They also have sinuous wire spring suspension and built-in legs. The extra slim seat and back cushions and track arms are the elements that make this collection unique and so different. The 4'' of extra foam padding make this collection both elegant and comfortable.

The sofa features attached side pillows and loose seat cushions that make it even more comfortable and cozy. The collection has a visible vintage look but it's also a very versatile collection that's easy to mix and match with various styles. The sofa's overall dimensions are 87″w 36″d 30″h. The armchair measures 34″w 36″d 30″h while the ottoman's dimensions are 26″w 22″d 15″h. It's an elegant collection and the vintage brown color makes it look both stylish and cozy. Some extra colorful pillows on the sofa would look lovely. Even though it has that vintage feel, this collection follows the minimalist pattern that contemporary furniture usually adopts.{found on site}

The Modern Linea Mode Bathtub

Posted: 08 Dec 2011 08:12 AM PST

Usually when choosing a new tub for your home there aren't a lot of things to take into consideration. But that's only until you see the huge offer and all the different models that are available on the market. Only then you start to realize that it's a much more complex item that you initially thought.

A bathtub first of all needs to be comfortable. The main reason why people even take baths in the first place is because it allows them to relax and to feel like new again. The Linea Mode definitely has that covered. The other element people usually take into consideration when purchasing a tub is the actual design. They want their bathroom to look beautiful and the bathtub is a big part of that room.

Considering only those two elements, this particular model is perfect. The Linea Mode is a Whirlpool Acrylic Bathtub and it was designed by Franco Bertoli in 2011. It's a new creation so it also includes top-of-the-line fixtures. The Linea Mode combines looks with functionality. It has 16 Airpooljets with commands to the tub edge and tap loft B1. It's also a very comfortable bathtub with a friendly shape. The design itself is very elegant and beautiful. And yet another advantage is the built-in storage space for things like shampoo, towels, etc.

Stylish entryway makeover

Posted: 08 Dec 2011 05:08 AM PST

This is a lovely home. All the rooms are inviting and stylish, except for the entryway. At last that's the way things were until Linda, the owner of this house, decided to give it a makeover. The entryway was seriously lacking functionality and it was also looking bad compared to the rest of the house.

So Linda decided to change all that by giving it a more dramatic look. She started by changing the colors. The brown and blue were replaced by gray and black. Also, the white trims look beautiful. The door has also been replaced. And now for the functional part. In order to make the entryway a little more functional, Linda added some much needed coat hooks along the walls.

It wasn't a radical change. But it's interesting to see how some fresh paint and some little details can change a space to the point where it's hard to even remember how it used to look before. Now Linda finally has the inviting and functional entryway that she always wanted. Her home is now complete. We can now say that the entire house is stylish and elegant and that all the spaces are functional and beautiful. It's important to have a beautiful entryway because that's the space where you first meet your guests. Regardless of how the rest of the house looks like, this the first image that greets the guests and the first impressions are always important.{found on itallstartedwithpaint}

Christmas stockings are a very important part of the Christmas decorations and they can be hung either by the fireplace or under the Christmas tree as per tradition. In today's fashion frenzy world Christmas, stockings are available in all fabrics and designs to suit your likings.

Coming to the Christmas tree it is most often the centre of attraction of the living room. Make sure to decorate the tree and still maintain that natural look. Decorate the Christmas tree to make it look sensational and bright. The use of LED lighting on the tree could be a great idea to bring that extra glitter to the Christmas tree. Another idea could be to hang up Christmas related wall hangings and remove the usual ones, which adorn your living room walls.

You can spread the Christmas decorations throughout the living room rather than keeping it in a cluster. That would give the entire living room a festive feel. Whatever your ideas use them wisely and recreate magic in your otherwise simple living room to make everyone feel the warmth and beauty of the festival.{pics from bhg}
